Scheduling Meeting still Sucks

Coordinating meeting times is still cumbersome. Sometimes it takes a dozen emails simply to find a time for a 3-person call. Why hasn't this problem been solved? Microsoft? Google? Can't someone make a universal tool for finding a time to meet?

Adeo at TheFunded is so fed up he has adopted a freestyle approach, but my gut says there has to be a technological solution.

For years i have been following Whenisgood.net, and this morning i was invited to schedule a meeting using the service. Wow has the service has improved! Liberal use of AJAX helps, and I think they are on the right track. Similarly to Timebridge, they still haven't hit the nail on the head yet, but I have high hopes. I wish them and others sucess.

One hint for Whenisgood: if you're serious about solving the scheduling problem...splurge and buy the .com domain...or even better buy pointment.com from our half-baked attempt to solve this problem.

Please, someone solve this multi-party-cross-platform-scheduling problem so my assistant and I can move on to other pressing issues.
